What change of policy?
The reason we did away with static linking was because of the
large amount of issues we had from having a thread library
separate from libc; the merger of the two made a static library
not only impractical but even impossible.
To continue to be able to mount "/usr", much of /usr/lib was moved
to /lib as a consequence.
For the curious, you can find more detail on this on pages 50-52 of
the Solaris Internals book.
